Not to be confused with the intriguing biopic about Apple man Steve Jobs from Academy Award-winning Aaron Sorkin, a film set to play out in a mere three scenes that is currently sitting without an official title, Jobs, starring Ashton Kusher, appears at first glance to be a more soft-boiled effort. After its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, people were hardly swooning over the combination of That 70’s Show star Kusher and a nobody director.

Response has been generally unfavorable and it’s been knocked mostly for being blasé and unoriginal- the thing that Steve Jobs himself fought against more than anything. Have a look at the trailer and see if you think that this one is for you or if you’ll just be waiting for the inevitable Oscar bait penned by Sorkin.
